Money available for extensions involves things like your expected payrolls for next season, which factors in contract estimates for any arbitration-eligible players you may have (estimates which are not displayed anywhere).
Honestly, with the information the game currently presents, there's no way you can really verify the accuracy of the money available for extensions. You just have to take it's word for it.

According to the manual, it does specify where it comes from, but I can't get the calc to match what is allowed:
18.3.6. Money Available for Contract Signings
The summary also shows the amount of money you have left for player contracts this season. Your owner
will not allow you to submit an offer that would exceed this amount.
The game uses the following formula to determine the amount of money you have available for signings:
[budget room + cash] - current payroll - pending offers
Your money available for contracts can change drastically just after player arbitration values are decided,
so be careful!
Note: Players on the active roster with minor league contracts are considered as making the league
minimum for purposes of this calculation.
